Most countries apply formal immigration controls for political and social reasons. But immigration is also an economic matter and some countries actively encourage controlled and sustainable migration on the basis that certain skilled people are of direct benefit to the new country. Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA all have immigration policies that are based on this principle. Visas granted include overseas temporary work visas, business visas, professional and skilled visas, spouse visas and family visas. Depending on eligibility, Overseas Emigration Visas (OE Visas), as a leading UK migration agency, can advise and secure overseas visas in all of these categories. |

This varies from one overseas visa type to another. Co-ordination, organisation and expertise all play their part in getting your overseas visa as quickly as possible. However, there are unavoidable administrative and legal processes involved in emigrating that have to be strictly followed. The amount of time varies based on case complexity and availability of information. In the best case scenario it can take 10 days, at worst 18 months plus. At present OE clients can usually expect a waiting time of around 8 months (providing all required documents are submitted in a timely fashion when requested), but this varies due to DIMIA waiting times and backlogs. The quoted times are guidelines only and are based on our own experiences, it is impossible to give an accurate guideline without knowing more details about your specific case.
